Murphy is the most hard-working man I know and has always been the best dad a girl could ask for. He’s been a source of strength for his family and friends, and I know I’ll miss him deeply—as will everyone who’s had the privilege to know him. Murphy is tough, resilient, and has always put others before himself, making a lasting impact on everyone around him.

He’s been sick for a while, but recently his condition has gotten much worse. Murphy has been out of work and in the hospital for months, relying on a fixed income. Watching him go through this has been incredibly hard, and it’s made preparing for what comes next even more difficult. I want to honor him and make sure his final arrangements are handled with the dignity he deserves.

I’m asking for help to cover the cost of Murphy’s cremation and related arrangements. Ya all know Murphy and have for years—he’s been a friend to so many. Now, I hope friends and family can pull together to help a friend one last time. Any support means the world to us and will help give Murphy the farewell he deserves.
